OVERALL:
Devon is a lean, mean, fighting machine... or something like that. He's sexy with his dark hair and light eyes. As a human he was attractive and being a vampire has only increased that for him, something he's a bit proud of. Though his sense of style has changed over the years to adapt to the current environment, he prefers to be neat and put together. He enjoys expensive clothing and believes in only allowing himself to wear the best of the best, though it doesn't always look that way.

LIKES:
+women – not surprising, Devon has had a lot of women
+blood – he's not a fan of tru blood, but he isn't about to slaughter a bunch of humans either
+his appearance – he can be a bit vain, but he finds no harm in admitting he's attractive
+violence – don't cross him, because he won't mind punishing you in a rather cruel way
+control – he likes being the one in control and he likes giving out the punishments he thinks people deserve for betraying him
DISLIKES:
-things being decided for him
-feelings – they're entirely too confusing
-losing control of a situation
-being betrayed
-tru blood – it's gross, but he'll keep the whole mainstreeming image

STRENGTHS:
-Determination - He won’t stop at anything and that’s something he’s quite proud of.
-Strategic – he's willing to think things through and use the best strategy
-Violent - It can be a strength when things need to get done. He isn’t afraid to spill a bit of blood and then lick it up afterward.
WEAKNESSES:
-Harmony – despite what he tells himself, he does have feelings for the human and he wishes he didn't, but he wouldn't hesitate to protect her if she were in trouble
-Lust – he is basically a slave to it, though it's not something he's particularly ashamed of. He likes being physical and that's really all there is to it.
-Stubbornness – he wants things done his way and has a hard time accepting when things are done differently
SECRETS: Though he's had relationships with humans in the past, he's never had real feelings for a human, and now he's starting to have those feelings for his current human.
OVERALL:
Dominant:
Devon is used to being the dominant person in the group. His Maker released him years ago and even before then he had gone out on his own. He excelled in whatever it was he tried and has no problem showing that he is the dominant male. He doesn't mind exercising his control over people he believes are lesser beings than he is.

Violent:
It wasn't what he chose to be, but that is how he has ended up. He tends to be a very violent person and can't always separate when it's needed from when it isn't. He usually falls back on a violent and cruel punishment. He sees it as a sign of strength if someone can withstand a violent punishment. He thinks it is his right to punish someone in whatever way he sees fit.

Lustful:
Devon is physical. He has always been physical and that doesn't seem to be changing any time soon. Even with his current human, one of his favorite things to do is sleep with her. He doesn't go very long without a woman by his side, but he very rarely trusts those women.

Unfeeling:
He is only recently developing feelings, and he isn't fond of that. Who would willingly put themselves through this kind of hell? That isn't to say that he is uncaring. He would do almost anything for his vampire family and cares a lot about them.

PARENTS: Michael and Annette Decelles (deceased)

vampire sisters: Keira and Layla

OTHERS:
Maker: Catelin
Human Wife: Jennavive (deceased)

OVERALL HISTORY:
Like every vampire, Devon was at one time a human. He spent his human childhood as an only child and loved by his parents. He grew up in a time where he was a man at a young age. He was married by the time he was seventeen. It was the mark of a good wife to give her husband babies, but Jennavive couldn't seem to carry to full term. Devon wasn't pleased by this and began his habit of sleeping around in the hopes of finding a woman who could give him a son, even if it wouldn't be a legitimate son. He was well known in their area of London and almost never spent two nights in a row with the same woman (looking back, he wondered how in the world he had managed to not get any diseases).

This carried on for a few years until Devon was twenty-five. Jennavive finally carried a child to term, but only barely. The young boy died shortly after being delivered and Jenna died just moments after the son. Though Devon hadn't really loved his wife, he was still devastated and decided at that moment that feeling anything was just a waste of time. He spent the remainder of his human years sleeping with different women at every night.

When Devon was thirty-two, Devon came across the wrong (or right depending on how you look at it) woman. Catelin was arguably the most beautiful woman he had ever seen and it was strange that all he could think about was why hadn't this woman been taken as a wife yet? He couldn't put his finger on it, but there was something off about her. He found out exactly what that thing was the first night he slept with her. She bit him (“Really, bloody woman? Biting?”) and the next night he woke as a vampire.

Well that was just lovely. Devon couldn't argue with the results of his transformation. He was more attractive than before and had strength he never realized was possible. The downside was being stuck to Catelin for however long she would require it of him. Suddenly, his nights weren't just for screwing, but for procuring dinner. At least there was some fun in that. Perhaps that was when Devon turned as violent as he currently is, or maybe it was when Catelin turned Keira, adding to their little vampire family. They stayed in London for a few decades and then moved to the States, residing in New York for a few years (where Catelin found Daniel and turned him) and eventually moving to New Orleans (where they found Layla and turned her). Catelin released the four of them after a while, desiring to return to London. The other three traveled back and forth more often than Devon, who got his own place in Shreveport.

Over the years Devon had slept and killed a lot of people, which didn't earn him a ton of fans. To top it all off, Catelin had decided that he should court another vampire, Marci. Marci was the leader of another vampire nest and Catelin thought it would be a good idea to form an alliance of sorts. When the vampires came out of the coffin, Devon had assumed the courting would end. It didn't. Marci seemed to think of him as her territory now. Devon saw it a completely different way, which pissed off some of the vampires within her nest. Devon backed off a little and continued to court Marci, though he wasn't entirely thrilled with the idea.

He was at her place in New Orleans the night his existence changed. He could tell something wasn't right as he drove back to Shreveport, and when he got home he found that his siblings had come to visit him and were currently in a fight with a rather capable human female. That was intriguing. It was easy for the four of them to overpower her, though she looked to have been holding her own before he arrived. She was out for a while, which was a good thing. He had to convince his siblings, Keira especially, that he was going to keep the human. There was something strong in her that he wanted to see.

RP SAMPLE:

Devon wasn't sure he was understanding what was going on. For the first time (which was surprising because he had owned Harmony for a long time), he was thankful that she had been a hunter before he bought her. This aspect of her life had always intrigued the vampire as a challenge and because of the spirit in her from that sort of life, he was attracted to her. But never had he thought he would be thoroughly pleased that she had killed vampires in her life before him. What was more impressive was that apparently, Harmony hadn't even lifted a finger to get Tristan Holt to stop his attack. The Vampire Master had much more control over his feeding habits than Devon did, but it was still near impossible to bring a vampire out of a blood lust. Devon made it a point to stay away from another vampire's slave just for that reason – he didn't think he'd be able to stop if his intention was to feed.

“I don't know whether you're really lucky, or just that talented.” He tried to give a small smile, but the result wasn't very effective. Normally, Devon was a master at lying. Unfortunately, Harmony could usually see through him. So either way, the gesture was probably lost. He couldn't help but feel glad that Harmony was safe, and angry at Tristan for even thinking of feeding off his blood slave, at the same time. One of the later thoughts he had was that if Tristan had left Harmony there, logically, she should have just eaten. Chances were that Tristan wouldn't be coming back if he had left without harming Harmony.

They were in a difficult situation now, though. The way Devon saw it, Tristan Holt would act in one of two ways: the vampire master would either go easier on them because of his slip up (in which case Devon would be both relieved because he needed a break and angry because he didn't want to admit that he needed one); or Tristan would be more difficult to get along with. The latter was what Devon's mind thought was more likely to happen. Tristan probably wouldn't want anyone to know that he almost fed from someone else's slave, and his moment of weakness would probably earn Devon a bit more of a closer watch. And less of a chance to get a divorce from Eden, if there had ever been a chance for that.

He sighed at her words. “If you are hungry, I can send another servant down for something. Otherwise do not worry about it.” It was sort of painful for Devon say that she didn't have to feed him tonight. Truthfully, he was very thirsty. But he wouldn't make her uncomfortable right now. Obviously he was a slightly changed Devon than when he had first bought the slave.
